Buy and hold investing

Big tech companies like Alphabet and Meta Platforms bundle demand-side and sell-side platforms, but they also lock advertisers and publishers inside their ecosystems. To break free from those walled gardens and reach the open internet, advertisers turn to independent demand-side platforms like The Trade Desk. In such a scenario, adopting a strategy like buy-and-hold to build a resilient investor portfolio is beneficial. According to LSEG data, holding positions in large-cap energy stocks since mid-2020 yielded over 60% total return, aided by elevated commodity prices. "Buy and hold investing" strategies benefit from capturing full commodity cycles and reinvestment periods in high-dividend environments.
